Room Temperature Phosphorescence in Solution from Thiophene‐Bridged Triply Donor‐Substituted Tristriazolotriazines

Abstract: Most organic room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters do not show their RTP in solution. Here, we incorporated sulfur‐containing thiophene bridges between the donor and acceptor moieties in D3A‐type tristriazolotriazines (TTTs). The thiophene inclusion increased the spin‐orbit coupling associated with the radiative T1→S0 pathway, allowing RTP to be observed in solution for all compounds, likely assisted by protection of the emissive TTT‐thiophene core from the environment by the bulky peripheral donors.

“…Therefore, the sum of SOCMEs from S 1 to T n ( n = 1–5) was calculated and compared. 20 The sum of SOCMEs of compounds 2, 3, and 4 was calculated to be 0.30, 8.68, and 0.09 cm −1 , respectively, showing significant differences ( Fig. 8 ).…”

“…Nonetheless, there is a preference for metal-free materials as they are generally cost-effective, biocompatible, and easily processed. Two main principles to achieve efficient room-temperature phosphorescence in purely organic materials are (i) enhancing ISC efficiency by using aromatic carbonyl, heavy-atom, or/and heterocycle/heteroatom-containing compounds; (ii) suppressing intramolecular motion and intermolecular collision which can quench excited triplet states, e.g., embedding phosphors into polymers and packing them tightly in crystals. Gallardo et al . recently proposed an alternative approach for the latter, demonstrating that by partially shielding the localization of the emissive triplet state at the molecular coresurrounded by three bulky donor unitsit likely enhances the strong SOC between them, enabling room-temperature phosphorescence to manifest even in a solution.…”
